ENGLISH Getting Started Connections Settings Playback Multi-Zone Remote Control Information Troubleshooting Specifications Connecting the Speaker Cables Carefully check the left (L) and right (R) channels and + (red) and - (black) polarities on the speakers being connected to the AVR-2310CI, and be sure to interconnect the channels and polarities correctly. 1 Peel off about 10 mm of sheathing from the tip of the speaker cable, then either twist the core wire tightly or terminate it. 2 Turn the speaker terminal counterclockwise to loosen it. 3 Insert the speaker cable's core wire to the hilt into the speaker terminal. 4 Turn the speaker terminal clockwise to tighten it. n When using a banana plug Tighten the speaker terminal firmly before inserting the banana plug. Connecting the Speakers About bi-amp connections These connections make for higher quality playback sound with no interference between the signals of the bass and treble units. When the amplifier assignment mode is set to "Front A Bi-Amp" or "Front B Bi-Amp", connect as shown below. (The illustration shows a connection example for the front B Bi-Amp speakers.) Front speakers B qw (L) AVR-2310CI q w (R) Connecting Devices Connecting Devices Equipped with HDMI terminals Important Information n About HDMI "HDMI" is the abbreviation of "High Definition Multimedia Interface". This interface allows transfer of digital video signals and digital audio signals over a single HDMI cable. "HDMI", "HDMI logo" and "High-Definition Multimedia Interface" are trademarks or registered trademarks of HDMI Licensing LLC. n Functions usable with HDMI connections Deep Color Eliminates on-screen color banding, for smooth tonal transitions and subtle gradations between colors. x.v.Color Enables displays with natural, vivid colors. "x.v.Color" is a Sony registered trademark. Use speakers with an impedance of 6 to 16 Ω/ohms. When using front A and B speakers simultaneously, use speakers with an impedance of 12 to 16 Ω/ohms. NOTE • Connect the speaker cables in such a way that they do not stick out of the speaker terminals. The protection circuit may be activated if the core wires touch the rear panel or if the + and - sides touch each other (v "Protection circuit"). • Never touch the speaker terminals while the power supply is connected. Doing so could result in electric shock. When in the "Front A Bi-Amp" and "Front B Bi-Amp" modes, the same signals are output from the front speaker terminals and the AMP ASSIGN terminals. NOTE • Use speakers compatible with bi-amp connections. • When making bi-amp connections, be sure to remove the short- circuiting plate or wire between the speaker's woofer and tweeter terminals. Auto Lip Sync (vpage 31) HDMI 1.3 incorporates an automatic video/audio synching capability that allows devices to perform this synchronization automatically with total accuracy. HDMI control function (vpage 31, 54) This function allows you to operate external devices from the receiver and operate the receiver from external devices. NOTE • T hese functions will not work if the device connected to the HDMI terminal does not support Deep Color or x.v.Color signal transfer or the Auto Lip Sync function. • The HDMI control function may not work depending on the device it is connected to and its settings. • You cannot operate a TV or Blu-ray Disc player / DVD player that is not compatible with the HDMI control function. n Copyright protection system (HDCP) The AVR-2310CI supports HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Contents Protection). HDCP is a copyright protection technology for digital video signals. The devices connected to the AVR-2310CI must also support HDCP. NOTE When a device that does not support HDCP is connected, video signals are not properly output. 13
